Cori's gaze darted to the cup and plate murmuring a thank you. He picked up the teacup, sipping at it as he frowned at the case file. The next one of these idiots who thought it was a good idea to try and make a plea bargain with info against Macavity was getting the noose if he had anything to say about it.

Having murmured a you're welcome in reply, Misto curled up on the chair, alternating between sipping the tea, watching the mottled tom, and actually paying attention to his book. Yes, he was tired, but in a rather content way that was a nice change of pace.

Cori glanced at him, but stayed quiet, finally relenting and picking up one of the biscuits.

Misto covered his small smile with the book he was reading when he noticed that.

"What are you reading?" Cor asked absently as he continued to make notes on the files, hoping this would be a viable case.

Misto paused, glancing at the cover of the book. "This Side of Paradise," he read. "Picked it out yesterday on the way home. It's... decent. Not as good as a lot of the Victorian novels, but decent."

"Who is it by, again?"

Misto checked the cover again. "Fitzgerald. New author, I think it was his first book."

"Ah, I see." Cori finished the biscuits and tea absently, murmuring under his breath about damnable idiots getting in the way of useful work.

Still smiling behind his book, Misto watched him a little absently, paying more attention to just looking at the mottled tom at that point than actually reading.

Cori finally returned those papers to the file before withdrawing the work he hadn't finished at the Demoniaque from his briefcase instead. He glanced at the mantle clock. Heading past one....well, he had to get this done.

Misto had been attempting--again in vain to stay up as late as the other tom. Seeing the new papers coming out though, he discarded that idea, slipping into the kitchen again, and returning a few minutes later with another plate of biscuits and cup of tea.

Coricopat glanced at the plate. "What are you doing?"

Misto blinked, one ear flickering back slightly on being called out on it. "How do you mean?"

Coricopat arched an eyebrow at him. "The food. Why?"
